SEO Friendly Website Design Guidelines 
Below are a few SEO tips and search engine optimization strategies to improve Google ranking 
of a new website in the organic search results. 
Avoid JavaScript Web Navigation Systems - 
The use of JavaScript navigation systems can cause problems by preventing search engine 
spiders from fully indexing (crawling) the content of your website. If your website uses 
JavaScript DHTML navigation system, ensure that you implement a static text link sitemap to 
allow full website access to search engine spiders, allowing them to find and index all your 
content. 
Avoid Frames - As SEO experts, we continually advise clients to avoid using Frames based 
web design. 
There's no doubt that Frames make for bad SEO by causing website accessibility and usability 
problems. 
Even a well optimized web site design will struggle to achieve a high search engine ranking, 
compared to a 
non Frames web site design, even with proper use of the <NOFRAMES> tag for alternative 
content. Consider 
An example of where the navigation system of a website is in Frame A and the page content is 
in Frame B. 
In the example (above) the Page Content Frame (B) is now search engine indexed as a totally 
different page 
to the Navigation Frame (A). Hence when visitor's reach the content Frame from organic 
search results they 
are left without any website navigation as the Frameset is not constructed properly. This is a 
website 
accessibility disaster and Frames prove little better for SEO either. 
Avoid Dynamically Generated Content - Dynamically generated page URL's (URL’s including 
?, =, &, %) are 
much harder for some search engines to index. When choosing a Content Management System 
(CMS) try to 
pick one which creates static HTML pages like content.htm, content.html, content.asp, 
content.php or
similar, rather than dynamic URLs like the one below: 
http://mysite.com/servlets/sfs;jsessionid=5C95?s=tSMChYU&i=11&b=11&t=/Default/gateway 
Importance of Valid HTML Code - Implementing valid HTML code will improve search 
engine friendliness, 
reducing the likelihood of website crawling and indexing problems. It's always worth validating 
HTML code 
on the most influential pages of your website. Whilst some HTML errors may not affect the 
ability of search 
engine spiders to crawl and index your website; 
some errors can stop Googlebot in its tracks and cause serious problems including partial 
website indexing. 
Targeting Website Content - It is always essential that each website page has a well written 
HTML title 
(80 characters maximum including spaces) and Meta description (maximum length of 250 
characters). The 
Meta description should read well and be designed to attract visitors, not just a list of 
keywords or spam! 
The Meta description should depict what the page is about and use the main target keywords 
in a 
grammatically correct sentence. 
Quality Website Copywriting - The more original and useful the content of a webpage, the 
higher it will 
likely rank in Google. Search engines assess the quality of website copywriting in a number of 
ways, 
including the time spent by visitors on a webpage after it has been selected from the SERPS 
results. In 
addition, quality original content attracts natural links from other websites to your website 
which can 
significantly boost search engine visibility and traffic. 
Avoid automatic redirects - Avoid a Google penalty by using a 301 re-direct if you intend 
redirecting 
visitors to another web site domain. Never use automated Meta Refresh redirects or JavaScript 
to redirect 
traffic as Google may incorrectly determine that you are using doorway pages and ban your 
domain. 
Avoid Website duplicate content - Wherever possible, try to avoid duplicate content on 
other website 
domains, duplicate pages (including multiple pages on the same domain with extremely similar 
content) 
or mirror sites as these can cause problems with Supplemental Results in Google. 
Image Alt Attributes 
Search engines will read alt attributes and may take them into consideration when determining 
the relevancy of the page to the keywords a searcher queries. It is probably also used in 
ranking image-based search engines like Google Images. 
Use Heading Tags Properly (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6) 
Make good use of heading tags in your web page content; they provide search engines with 
information on the structure of the HTML document, and they often place higher value on 
these tags relative to other text on the web page.
Website Loading Time 
Under 3second is best loading time for website 
Page speed remains a ranking factor in Google’s algorithm for both desktop and mobile sites. 
That Faster load times will indeed improve your ranking, as well as help you gain more organic 
traffic. 
Sitemaps 
Sitemaps are purely designed to tell the search engines about all of the content on the 
website. 
In terms of sitemaps I always recommend to use 4 different sitemaps: 
XML 
RSS Feed 
HTML
